Our Oakland Packing & Unpacking Services
Packing is often the most time-consuming and stressful part of moving. Between boxes, fragile items, and tight timelines, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed—especially in busy Oakland neighborhoods with limited space.

What Do Packing Services in Oakland Include?

How Much Do Packing Services Cost in Oakland?
Packing services in Oakland are typically priced based on time, crew size, and materials. Most local movers in Oakland charge hourly for packing, with the total cost tied to how many rooms and fragile items you have.
Common factors that affect the cost of packing and unpacking in Oakland include:
- Size of your home or apartment (studio vs. 1–3 bedrooms)
- How many fragile or specialty items you need packed
- Whether you need full-home packing or partial packing only
- Stairs, elevators, and access in your Oakland building
- Whether you add unpacking services at your new place
- Time of year and day of the week for your move
Many Oakland customers choose partial packing services for high-risk rooms like the kitchen and home office, then pack clothing and non-breakables themselves to control cost.

FAQs About Packing & Unpacking Services in Oakland
Read through a list of frequently asked questions that we have received from some of our customers.
How much do packing services cost in Oakland?
Packing services in Oakland are usually billed hourly based on crew size and how many rooms you need packed. Smaller apartments may only need a few hours of partial packing, while full-home packing for larger houses takes longer. Your quote will outline labor and materials so you know what to expect.
Do packing services include boxes and materials?
Yes. When you book packing services in Oakland with Ace Moving Co., we provide boxes, tape, padding, and other materials needed to safely pack your belongings. If you already purchased some supplies, we can use those as well.
Can I hire you just to pack or unpack, without moving?
Absolutely. Many Oakland customers hire us for packing-only or unpacking-only jobs—especially when they’ve rented their own truck or container. We can pack, label, and prepare everything so your self-move is safer and more organized.
Will you only pack certain rooms, like my kitchen?
Yes. Our partial packing services are perfect if you just want help with kitchens, fragile decor, artwork, or other high-risk items. You can pack clothes and simple items while we focus on what’s most likely to break.
How far in advance should I book packing services in Oakland?
We recommend booking 2–4 weeks in advance, especially if you want packing done the day before or the day of your move. For last-minute packing in Oakland, call us directly and we’ll check availability.
Do you label boxes so I know where everything goes?
Yes. We label boxes by room and often by category (e.g., “Kitchen – Glassware”, “Bedroom – Linens”) to make unpacking easier. This helps whether we’re doing the unpacking or you’re handling it yourself.
